TikTok Challange

With so many social media platforms anything from finance news, weather updates, hot topics and sports scores to basic personal announcements can spread quickly. And while so many posts can be helpful and good some also are terrible and dangerous. The recent TikTok outlet challenge has been one of them to put on the radar. While uneducated posters attempt to “successfully“ complete this challenge there’s so many terrible and dangerous outcomes possible. Yes of course loss of power, but in many cases where the circuit breaker does not shut off there are other serious risks, like fire, injury and death! In cases where the current remains flowing, arcing will occur and result in potential skin burns from sparking or even liquified metal from the coin itself. Surrounding materials can also ignite and combust into a large fire. Something seemingly so simple and perhaps to some relatively harmless can have such irreversible affects. Make sure that you speak clearly and openly about the dangers involved and safety in such issues. Make sure that your circuit breakers and other electrical components are up to date and function properly. And if you’re not sure have a professional evaluate your system.
